THE TIMES, San Francisco, California, June 23, 1867
* Alaska purchase - Seward's Folly
* William H. Seward - Russia
The top of the front page has column heads including; "Formal Ratification of the Russian Treaty" which refers to the purchase of Alaska from Russia, or known as "Seward's Folly".
The report is very brief, just noting: "The final exchange of the ratification of the Russo-American treaty took place to-day...and the President issued a proclamation announcing the final ratification."
Four pages, very large size, never bound nor trimmed, minimal fold wear, minor fold foxing. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
